i agree. hd graphics, a free robust online facebook-like network, new controller, strong 3rd party support right at launch, future blockbuster games, both 1st and 3rd party, cheaper dev costs since it will be outdated compared to ps4 and 720. That will, combined with a strong install base, theoryetically give nintendo a huge advantage over sony and microsoft. and by this time next year when ps4 and 720 do launch, nintendo can easily drop the price by $50 and secure their lead.

I'm a former devout ps3 user who made the switch to wiiU. As well I'm also starting to see while not a lot, but still a rather increasing number of ppl on miiverse who are saying how they've played cod for years on ps3 and or 360 and have now switched to the wiiU gamepad for their cod fix. So while its not very big at the moment, I suspect as time goes on, miiverse will be a very good way of users word of mouth getting more and more ppl on it. I still love my ps3, but I'm finding less and less to be excited about it since it is after all a modem age dinosaur. WiiU feels fresh and new for the time being. Lets see what Nintendo can do with a year head start. We already know the indie devs are loving it.
